    You can condemn Israel without hating Jewish people.

    Couldn’t agree more. The issue is that Israel has conflated the two deliberately in an attempt to stave off criticism.

    They’ve cheapened the meaning of antisemitism to the benefit of antisemites everywhere. I feel very sorry for good, honest and kind Jewish people everywhere who will bear the brunt.

    The fact this miniscule, rudimentary level of critical thinking is beyond the majority of people is fucking appalling and dishesrtening.

    I think more and more people are beginning to see the difference. The moment the Irish president got called an antisemite they lost an entire nation. It just couldn’t be further from the truth. He’s a kind, well meaning, intelligent man who puts up with exactly zero bullshit.
